Wiesn 2022: Oktoberfest tapping on Saturday - "The most important folk festival in the world"
Prime Minister Markus Söder is one of the people who is particularly happy about the fact that the most famous folk festival in the world is taking place.
He was traditionally given the first measure when it was tapped.
“The Oktoberfest Munich is always like a big coming home and reunion.
It can finally take place again," Söder wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
“The Wiesn is the most important folk festival in the world.
Thanks for the great atmosphere!
Bavaria likes to be a host.
To a peaceful Wiesn!” said the CSU boss.
Many people are happy that the Oktoberfest on the Theresienwiese can take place again after a two-year Corona break.
Others see it critically.
"O'gsteckt is!" - Criticism of the Oktoberfest: "Munich will also be a corona capital"
"O'gsteckt is!" can be read more than once in the comments under Söders Post.
"An uninvited guest will
be there and will be very happy," writes another person with a view to Corona.
"Well then 'O'gckt is'.
I'll work safe with a mask for the next 3 weeks.
The nurses in Munich are so grateful to finally let the corona wave start again after the relaxing summer," comments a person from the nursing sector sarcastically.
"I'll get used to working alone next time."
"Munich will also become a corona capital," says another person.
"Will definitely go down in the history of the most important superspreader events," criticizes someone.

Alcohol consumption at the Oktoberfest is also harshly criticized.
Someone describes the Wiesn as “the biggest junkie festival in the world”.
And another person comments ironically: "Finally drinking again until you throw up!
German cultural assets.”
Söder's party clearly criticized the planned cannabis legalization of the traffic light - this also comes up: "Oh Mr. Söder, that doesn't have to be the case.
Glorify alcohol, ban cannabis.”
